Author of the Week: Kevin Wayne Johnson

Kevin: I began writing articles for my job in 1995. Then, I was led to "Write

for the Lord."

A&RBC: What inspired you to write your books?

Kevin: I wanted to share the gospel in a manner other than preaching or

speaking as I normally do. For example, this year I will preach the gospel on four continents. Writing books allows me to reach even more people.

A&RBC: What do you enjoy most about writing?

Kevin: It is therapeutic and relaxing. That's what I love most.

A&RBC: What are you hoping readers take away from your books?

Kevin: This book is intended as a resource to everyone who desires to read it, as a means to establish, acknowledge and/or strengthen their personal relationship with God. It is one of many channels whereby God’s Word must be spread throughout this world. Jesus said, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me” (John 12:32). Within its six chapters, there are twenty-three specific thought-provoking strategies that encourage and challenge each of us to Give God the Glory!

research, and mediate often during and after I write.

A&RBC: Are you currently working on any projects and if so, can you give us a sneak peek?

Kevin: Yes, our books are up to six languages. Having them translated and printed takes time. Also, I will be preparing our next book in the series soon: Called to be Light in the Workplace - A Workbook.

Kevin: Stick to it and finish your book. That's the only way to feel that you have accomplished your goal!
